Climate Solutions for a Joyful Future
Feeling like it's doomsday? Nivi Achanta, founder of Soapbox Project, is joining us to talk about how to design climate solutions for a joyful world. Most mainstream climate solutions are rooted in the narratives of fear and urgency. Those emotions are real and important... but they also might be why we're missing the point. Nivi will help you change the narrative by anchoring on the importance of joy in your climate work. In this workshop, you'll be guided through some behavioral science, futurism, and community organizing activities you can use in your own life to design for a better, safer, happier future. Together, we'll imagine the world we want to live in (and learn about why this is a great tool in your joyful activism toolkit!) and start practicing how to have climate conversations that are uplifting and effective.
This workshop is for you if you are having a hard time navigating climate anxiety + the general doomsday feelings of the world right now and you're feeling ready to embrace your role as a change agent.
